    + 1 for painting.

    I had mine painted after curbing them within the first month of ownership, and 6+ months on they still look amazing.

    plasti dip just do yourself, very easy and you dont even have to remove your tyres.

    Lots of videos online on it and there is a local supplier of the paint cans also.

    Cheap way to try if you like.

    If you dont like it, it peels straight off.

    Thanks. Looks like ordering non aerosol cans and a spray gun from the US will be half the price of buying spray cans in AUS.

    I was told powder coating stays longer than painting, I may prefer matt black looking as opposite to gloss black - my personal preference only. Gloss black may be too eye catching

    Here is how a matt black may look like:
